Participants will have the opportunity to walk either the moderate one-mile Giant City Nature Trail, or the easy 1/3 mile Devil’s Standtable Trail. The first hike will run from 10 to 11am and the second hike will run from 11am-noon. What a great way to give our canine friends a little exercise and, maybe, help them find a fur-ever home.

]]>If you haven’t been to one of the Shawnee Hills Opry shows you’ve been my missing out on a fun night in Downtown Anna. Our show has been going for 2 years now and every show has been sold out! This show is great for the whole family with a variety of music we’re sure you will love.
This month we will feature a tribute to The Eagles and also a medley of songs from the 50’s. Janna Harner will be filling in for Ashley Hatfield while Ashley is becoming a new mom! Janna Harner is an amazing singer who has been a guest on our past shows.
Eli Tellor will be opening the show doing an acoustic set. Most of you know Eli as a local singer songwriter who has made a name for himself not only in Southern Illinois but in Nashville as well. Excited to have him back on the show!
It’s going to be a great night of music so don’t miss out. Don’t forget that Kiki’s now has a bar with beer, wine and mixed drinks so get there early for great seats and a cocktail. Doors open at 6pm. If you are interested in reserved seating for an additional $10 per seat contact Kiki’s CoffeeHouse.
Another great thing about Opry night in Downtown Anna is several businesses are offering specials when you show your Opry ticket.
Jordo’s Pizzeria is offering 20% off your entire meal that night.
Jus10’s Frozen Yogurt is offering buy one get one FREE.
If you have dinner at Jordo’s and dessert at Jus10’s, you Opry ticket is almost free!
We hope to see you March 30th at the Shawnee Hills Opry – tickets here.
